Los Angeles
In a time when mass media is exploiting even the slightest misstep of a celebrity, it might be heartwarming to be reminded that…it’s always been this way. This coming Thursday the Santa Monica Drive-In at the Pier hosts a viewing of Roman Holiday! And not only that but the Castello di Gabbiano winery is holding a tasting of their wine from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Only bummer is that it’s not actually a drive-in. It’s more of a lawn-chair-in, on the boardwalk behind the merry-go-round. Just don’t drink too much free wine and get caught getting up from you lawn-chair without any underwear on.
September 20 Roman Holiday
Presented by Castello di Gabbiano
Audrey Heburn and Gregory Peck star in this immortal classic about an Italian princess who escapes her royal confinements and falls in love with an American newsman. Pretend you’re on holiday as well – Castello di Gabbiano winery will host a tasting of their selections in the wine pavilion from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
